PS or PP Chipotle Brussels Sprout Slaw

Chef: Jessica Meyers-Altman, GardenFreshFoodie.com

Makes: 8 servings

Prep Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

Chipotle Dressing

• 2 dates

• 1 ½ c orange juice

• 2 T chia seed

• 1 t salt

• 2 cloves garlic

• A few dashes of chipotle powder (to taste)

Salad

• 2# Brussels sprouts-shredded

• 4 c julienned apples

• 2 c julienned carrots

• 1 c chopped pecans (Eliminate if PP)

• ¼ c fresh parsley, minced

• Additional salt/pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Place all the ingredients for the dressing in a blender and blend. This dressing will thicken as it sits. If it gets too thick, simply add a little water to thin.

2. Shred Brussels sprouts in a food processor or chop by hand. I did a combination of food processor and hand, to give a mixed texture. All food processors shredded it too fine.

3. Add the remaining ingredients, and dress with chipotle dressing until the desired amount is achieved. Add a little dressing at a time, as to not overdo it.

4. Extra dressing lasts well in the fridge and is perfect on top of traditional salads or as a marinade.
